beautifully done. difficult to find a recording of this...i’m glad the one i COULD find is outstanding. if this is available as a professional mp3, please direct is to it!
I actually quite like the cor anglais part played on oboe at oboe pitch in the second movement. ;-) It sounds much more avant garde. Well done, any way!
@@carolbernhardt641 Yes, it's unfortunate when that happens. Even in my score it's not clearly marked on the first page, like you expect in a general score, the English horn just appears in the second movement. There are so many opportunities for errors to slip in between composition and performance, especially in the confection of parts. What's curious here is that the oboist does actually have a cor anglais and he gets it out for the last movement.
Since each of these three movements is essentially played twice, a transcription of this sort allows us a different scoring for the repeats, which is one advantage over the original solo piano version, I suppose. The second movement originally ends with a dramatic glissando, whereas this transcription seemed to flail at that point. I think the rapid scales in the third movement where in the original the right hand is repeating an E-F-G figure in 16ths over an F major seventh chord arpeggio in 8ths is too much of a liberty. Otherwise, though, a pleasant enough rendering for an instrumental combination probably desperately in search of repertoire.
I see that someone points out at the bottom of these comments that this is Poulenc’s own transcription. That would seem to suggest that he has the right to any liberties he likes, but on further reflection I’ve decided to stand by what I say above.

There used to be music shops that you could just walk into and if they didn't have a particular score in stock they could usually order it for you. There are still one or two around, though not for much longer, I fear. The shop where the young Pau Casals bought a copy of the then practically forgotten Suites for Cello by Bach closed down eight years ago. The Musical Emporium at the top of the Ramblas in Barcelona. I don't know what it is now. Probably a Dunkin' Donuts or a souvenir shop selling Barça shirts. This piece is published by Chester Music.
Flip that accent around if you want to look French. It should be aigu (acute), not grave. Oh well, at least you didn’t say “viola!” like so many Internet commentators.
Bravo! Loved this arrangement of a great piano piece
Added to my beauty playlist
This instrumentation is perfect for that third part. ❤️

Unfortunately the oboe part is not marked English horn on the part. It is only if you notice in the score that it is to be EH. in the 2nd mvt.

I'm told by a concert pianist that it most likely was arranged by the composer. This was one of the pieces she taught her students one piano.
Sounds like it should belong in a Disney short!
So true
I much prefer this nonet arrangement to its keyboard cousin. A superlative performance all round!

Die Oboe im 2. Satz spielt korrekt oder kann der Oboist nicht Noten lesen?
Er spielt versehentlich die Partitur für den Cor Anglais auf der Oboe.

Wonderful! Trés Français!

Whose arrangement?
According to the score, it is the composer's (Poulenc's) own arrangement.
